Keynon Lake & My Daddy Taught Me That (MDTMT)

Sunday, July 13th @ 9:45am

Keynon Lake is the visionary founder of KL Training Solutions and My Daddy Taught Me That (MDTMT), a nonprofit organization dedicated to mentoring young men in Asheville. Born and raised here, Keynon has deep roots in the community and a passion for uplifting and empowering youth. During his nearly two decade career as a Social Worker in Child Protective Services, Keynon came face-to-face with the challenges many children attempt to face alone, particularly those from low-income and single-parent households. He founded KLTS & MDTMT in 2012 to provide guidance, support, and positive role models. Please join us on July 13 to hear all of the amazing things Keynon Lake is doing in our community.
